Episode 141 The Raid (3)

“Isn’t the weather cold? Drink some cocoa.”

The cuckoo flew into my nest. He gave Hwang Jung-hyun hot cocoa and said.

Instead of cocoa, I wanted to put a funnel in my mouth and pour in high ginseng tea, but in order to catch a big fish, I needed to lower his vigilance.

‘Because I don’t know how many cuckoos are still in my academy.’

Well, I doubt the two guys who are close to him, but that doesn't mean we can't make a quick conclusion.

Either he had to convince him as much as possible, or he had to make his accomplices blow up.

But.

"it's okay."

The guy just stares at the cocoa in front of me and looks at me with a sullen expression.

"Why? Do you like cocoa?”

when i ask

“… Not kids, who drinks cocoa.”

He gently pushes the cocoa glass in front of him towards me.

Heh heh, what a arrogant guy.

Then he narrows his eyes and looks at me. However, it is the expression of Seong Chun-hyang looking at Byunsato.

Hell, I haven't done anything yet, so be careful. Anyone who sees me would know that I am a detective who deviated from the principle of presumption of innocence.

‘Well, I think I should be a detective just for today.’

It seems that trying ice-breaking with the warmth and sweetness of cocoa is over the water.

then… All that's left is… .

‘It’s just cold reading.’

cold reading.

Originally, it means to read aloud the script received on the spot without rehearsal or practice during an audition for a movie or a play.

These days, it is a widely used term in the sense that it is a technology that detects the inner feelings of the other person through body language, intonation, and attire without any prior information about the opponent.

Well, it's a skill that there aren't many people who can use it skillfully.

‘I thought it was necessary to take care of the students.’

I thought I would have something to write about someday. He was well aware of the things that could determine whether the other party was lying or not.

‘It would be funny to gamblers to see.’

I smiled softly and opened my mouth.

“Looking at the register, did you see that your house is next to Mapo-gu Office? It must be quite far, but is it worth going?”

At first, start with a light survey. It's probably because it was basic to start with the easiest answer.

‘I have to check if he is really a cuckoo, and I also have to lower his vigilance.’

OK.

“Well, it’s okay to go. It’s a bit long, but it’s better because you only have to change it once in the middle.”

The guy answers politely. Well… Just by looking at his face, he was saying it wasn't a big deal, but... … .

'bingo.'

Also, the boy's eyes were saying something else.

The eyes swung to the right and then returned to me.That's what it says.

‘I am imagining something or making up something.’

Normally, when people answer a simple question like the one I just did, their pupils move to the left by default.

This is a sign that ‘I am trying to remember something now’.

But his eyes turned to the right instead of to the left and ended up looking at me.

So, what his body language is saying is that even the contents of his life record are likely to have been manipulated.

‘I can’t make a hasty decision based on just one thing.’

I checked the first evidence and continued speaking slowly.

"okay? I'm glad. What should I do if it is difficult because it is too far away? So, did you make a lot of school friends?”

Then he opens his mouth and pretends nothing is wrong.

"what? How are you? It hasn't been long."

everyday answer. But I don't believe it. I just read what his body says.

The corners of his mouth were slightly rolled up and his eyes trembled slightly.

The incongruent emotional lines between the mouth and the pupils spoke of his uneasy feelings.

'Second.'

It was a question that an ordinary student would have no reason to be so anxious about. So, if this is an overreaction like this, I said that there was something wrong with him.

Besides.

‘When I put the word ‘friend’ in my mouth. His eyebrows twitched noticeably.’

friend... It was quite an important keyword. If he showed emotion to this word... It wouldn't hurt to try stabbing it once in a while.

“Ah, I saw Yonghyung and Hwancheol in class, did they seem close? Are you in the same school?”

What I put into my mouth are the guys who got caught with him in the last lecture. For now, it wasn't this guy, but the guys suspected of being a cuckoo.

Well, on the life record, it was confirmed that it was clearly checked as a different school.

‘Sometimes it’s good to pretend you don’t know.’

OK.

“It’s a different school. We met here and we are just getting along. But isn’t that in the record book?”

The guy tilts his head as if it's weird and says. Well, again, there's nothing to point out when it comes to answering.

However.

'Yes, the answer was too quick. It was as if they were preparing in advance.’

This time, I got the answer of the guy who came out one tempo faster.

'When a normal person is asked a question like this, they first think, 'Why are you asking such a question?' and then answer.'

So, his quick answer was highly likely to come from a state in which he thought he should answer this question when it was asked in advance.

Hmmm, this is the third time. Although it was seen as a wild animal, that alone catches the eye of his anxious psychology and lies. I smiled softly and opened my mouth.

"okay? They look pretty friendly, so I thought they were friends I've known for a long time.”

However.

“That teacher. But did you call me just for real counseling? If it's because I didn't bring a pen last time, I apologize for that. At the time, it was really blinking. sorry."

By this time, he realized that something was strange. He suddenly speaks to me with a serious expression on his face.

Apparently, if the conversation continued like this, he seemed to think that the secret he was hiding could be revealed.

For him, it must feel like he is facing the final boss of the enemy camp, so he will have no choice but to be anxious.

so.

‘You say you’re sorry with your mouth, but your eyes must be cold.’

Contrary to the guy who said he was sorry, his eyes seemed to be observing me. He was obsessed with figuring out my intentions by examining my expression.

“The real teacher, I only watched on Yotube and saw it in person, so I couldn’t concentrate these days.”

So, even if I wanted to believe him, I couldn't.

‘I wouldn’t know if I was blind.’

Well, considering his age, it was a pretty plausible response. Because if I hadn't been able to get the advance information, I'd have known that I was just an ordinary high school 3rd grader and passed on.

“I guess I should go now. Can I wake up first?”

However.

'He's not normal.'

The look of the guy who had been suspicious of it made that doubt into a firm conviction.

If so, it was necessary to raise the number of wins at this point.

"okay."

I nodded to the guy who was about to get up.

even.

"I'll ask you one last question before I go instead."

I attached a clue to the guy.

Then he looks at me with a look that asks me to ask a quick question. No matter how you look at it, it looks like he wants to quickly answer the question and get out of here.

‘You might be anxious.’

I smiled and slowly opened my mouth.

“Jung Hyun-ah. you. You're not even in high school, so why are you here?"

Heavy body-side straight ball. Bluffing as if he knew everything. How will he respond to such a direct statement?

Everything.

‘Obviously he said he was in high school last year.’

It was the number of wins thrown with prior information.

Unless he's a cuckoo.

'You're probably only going to be embarrassed for a while by the nonsensical remarks.'

However.

"Yes? What do you mean, sir?”

a fleeting moment. I saw his eyes trembling incessantly. And that trembling grew stronger and stronger as time passed.

I put the next attack in while he was still unconscious.

“What do you mean, you and the other kids are adults, but they are wearing school uniforms and entering our academy. Hyun-ah Jeong. No, the name was Hwang Jung-hyun in the first place. Isn't this your real name?"

I threw away the light attitude I had ever had and put cold language into my mouth. Then the boy's trembling got worse. Well… As for the name, I thought it was unimaginable.

No, it's not real, it's real.

So when I'm biting my tongue.

“What are you talking about? That's Hwang Jeong-hyeon, 2nd year 3rd grader at Mapo High School. Did you see your mother too?”

The boy chewed his words out with a cold expression on his face.

Heh heh, boy. Does that attitude make you more suspicious?

I opened my mouth to the guy who didn't seem to want to hit GG yet.“I saw it. But what about 100,000 won as an acting part-timer these days? You must have a hard time contacting me every time.”

OK.

“… … .”

The boy bows his head without saying a word.

In fact, they must have prepared thoroughly for others.

I set the school to be quite far from Daechi-dong, so I have little to worry about meeting students from the same school, and I even set up my mother.

‘It’s a failure that I didn’t expect that the instructors of the academies I worked with before would be there.’

That's why I was afraid of sin. Because he did not know when and where the punishment for his sins would come.

I slowly opened my mouth towards Hwang Jung-hyun, who was lowering my gaze as if I was hanging my head on the guillotine.

“Actually, I already know your identity. The teacher at OO Academy said that he remembers you.”

Then he quickly raises his head. Then he looks at me with a sharp expression. It was as if he had been playing with him until now.

No, the loading dock is also oily. The fault is his own... He was wearing a school uniform, so he acted like a high school student.

However.

“… Ugh it's frustrating. I'm just going out Don't go to this school. Don’t say anything strange.”

haha. Haven't you given up yet?

"okay? Then get out.”

Then he turned around as if he was waiting.

“Instead, just keep in mind that the moment you step out of that door, it’s crashing. As an adult, do you know the fear of chuk-k-k-k-k-k-kong?”

In an instant, his feet stopped like a lie.

I smiled softly and opened my mouth.

“But if you sit down even now… .”

Let me speak slowly on purpose.

“… Sit down?”

The guy turns to me and asks.

“What do you do with me… It’s not going to happen.”

Then he looks at me with a frown on his face.

But then.

Maybe the dark is more comfortable - I can rather be free Life. Life-

The phone rings ringing. Hwang Jeong-hyeon's expression hardens at the ringing sound like the devil's temptation.

언뜻 본 그의 휴대폰에 [개새끼]라는 글자가 보인다.

No, who is it that you swear such harsh words on your name... … .

But despite the loud ringing of the phone, he didn't seem willing to answer the phone.

“Why not?”

when i ask

Hwang Jung-hyun looks down at his phone. Then he takes turns looking at me and the phone.

Frown eyebrows. His slightly twitching fingers spoke of his troubles.

And in the end he made a choice.

Kook-

His finger pressed the button on the phone.
